ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HOME STAGING

We all know that scent can evoke strong feelings and memories. I have definitely been transported to a different time and place with the wafting smell of my Grandmother's perfume or my best friend's favourite body wash. Think baking bread and freshly brewed coffee... you can smell it now, can't you! These smells can uplift us, and awakening our senses. ​

Essential Oils for Home Staging
When we enter a someone's home, the first thing we may notice is the scent. Does it smell, or is there a light scent give us a sense that the space is freshly cleaned?  This is important for us as homeowners, especially when staging our homes for sale, and that all important open house. We want the buyer to be enticed by our clean space, not overpowered by chemical cleaning products, or bad odors wafting from some hidden corner.

​Here are some of my favourites essential oils for that "fresh clean home smell" that will appeal to home buyers looking for their new home. 

1. Lemon. Great for the kitchen area. Wipe benchtops with diluted lemon oil for a fresh citrus scent.

2. Vanilla. You can find Vanilla in our blend Stress Away, which also contains Cedarwood and Lime. Diffuse before your open house, for calming yourself and your visitors.

3. Rosemary. Can be paired well with lemon. Good for around pet spaces, just ensure you dilute well.

4. Pine. Known for its refreshing aroma, it is great added to your mop bucket for fresh floors.

5. Basil. Great for a DIY surface spray for a chemical-free alternative.

6. Cedarwood. Nice for linen closets or hanging in clothes cupboards.

7. THIEVES Essential Oil Blend containing rosemary, lemon, cinnamon and cloves, this is perfect for masking stronger smells, fighting mould and mildew scents in bathroom and laundry areas.

8. Orange, which pairs well with cinnamon and cloves. Lovely diluted with oil for polishing wood finishes.

9. Eucalyptus or Tea Tree for their super crisp scent. Great for wet areas where musty and mouldy smells may linger.

10. Lime, which pairs well with Thyme. Spritz away in smelly corners of your place.

To use these essential oils for home staging:

You may like to diffuse essential oils before your open house, for a lovely soft lingering scent in the air. Please don't leave them running during an open house, as some people have an aversion to strong scents, and may just as likely be turned off. What you are going for is the smell of everything being sparkling clean, with just a subtle, light and fresh scent.  

When cleaning, think about the walls, the carpets, the floors, the cupboards, the linen, and the curtains as you clean. Infuse scent into the cleaning solutions as you go. Create your own essential oil wall wash, a carpet deodoriser, a scented floor cleaner, some linen sachets for the cupboards, a linen spray for the sheets, and wash the curtains in a scent like Thieves to remove unwanted smells. Find our Essential Oils Range here.

All the best for your staging, open house and here's hoping you get the perfect buyer! 
Take your nose for a walk around your home.... what can you smell? Are there any scents you'd rather hide?

This is really helpful information. My husband and I work from home and entertain our customers in our living room. My brother in law gave us a diffuser for Christmas and I really like the idea of creating a welcoming and calming scent. Thank you!

    Hi, Im Rebecca,
    G'day from Tropical North Queensland, home of the Great Barrier Reef. Most days you'll find me barefoot, in a flowy boho dress, my head in the clouds. I have always been passionate about herbs and natural living. Essential oils are something I stumbled upon in my natural healing journey, and fell in love with their powerful benefits. Now can't see how I ever lived without them! Join me...and find your own kind of natural.
